Gwinnett Mom Urges Ban of Styrofoam Trays

Beth Remmes, a Lilburn mother of two students at Camp Creek Elementary, is beside herself.

Day after day she knows that her children are eating out of plastic foam trays -- which are made of a consistency that does not degrade easily in the environment, taking some 500 years to wither to nothing.

-- What do you think of plastic foam trays being used to serve meals to school students? Let us know in the comment section. --

So, she decided to do something about it, and started a petition that she hopes draws the attention of school officials. There's more than 500 signatures on the Change.org petition already.
